Lake Katlabukh

Lake Katlabukh lies north-east of Ismail in the low country beside the Danube. Its long basin receives the Katlabukh, Tashbunar and Yenika streams. The northern shores rise above the water and are cut by ravines, while the southern shore is low and marshy. Reeds and other aquatic plants fringe the shallows, providing shelter for fish and nesting birds in the varied landscape of lakes along the lower Danube.
